Sneak Peak into Africa Tech Summit 2024
Many nations are preparing for Africa Tech Summit (ATS) eighth edition that will be held in London on June 7th, 2024, at the London Stock Exchange. This event brings together over 300 tech leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers from Africa and around the world to talk about the future of tech and innovation on the continent.
If you’re a tech venture from Africa looking for partnerships or investment, you’re invited to apply for the Investment Showcase happening on June 7th, 2024. This showcase is all about linking ventures ready for investment with potential investors.
Imagine this: you get the chance to present your business model to investors and partners, get noticed, and secure funding to take your venture to new heights. That’s what happened to Abraham Itule, Founder and CEO of Safiri, a transport and logistics startup from Tanzania. He got funding after pitching at last year’s Africa Tech Summit London. His idea wowed investors, leading to a successful funding round. Safiri helps people and goods move from one place to another efficiently.
Abraham shared, “I didn’t expect much when I came to the summit, but it turned out to be a game-changer. We connected with an investor who believed in our vision and invested in us. This funding has been crucial in growing our operations and reaching more African businesses and travelers.”
The Investment Showcase isn’t just about networking; it also gets your venture featured in the investment deal book, increasing your chances of finding investors. To be eligible, your venture must be African-based, have at least one African co-founder, offer an innovative product or service ready to scale, and be able to present at the summit in person.
The summit isn’t just about the Investment Showcase; it’s a hub of valuable sessions like keynotes, panels, masterclasses, and networking opportunities.
Applications for the Investment Showcase are open until May 2nd on their website. Don’t miss out on this chance to take your tech venture to the next level! All the best in your endeavors.
